governor romney's was a plan that was applied to one state. it was applied to a unique health care population in that state, which was about 7 million people. not like what we've seen with president obama, where he essentially took one-sixth of the american economy. reorganized it, applied that federal standard, and said, let's see if this works. i think the american people have judged that plan very harshly, because it wasn't bipartisan, it hasn't brought down costs. it hasn't been something that's helped a lot of health care consumers. it's putting government between many patients and their doctors, so there are very big differences there. tomorrow night, with the case on how to go forward with health care, what to really do to bring down those costs, i think that's going to be discussed and we look forward to that debate. i know governor romney does. >> on the issue of illegal immigration, kevin, the governor says he won't try to change what the president did by executive order, recently, allow children of illegal immigrants who were brough
